Answer is: sucrose is more soluble in water.
Solubility of sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) is about 2000 g in one liter of water (25°C) and solubility of lauric acid (C₁₂H₂₄O₂) is approximately 0,06 g approximately.
That is because sucrose has stronger intermolecular forces (hydrogen bond), Sucrose has more oxygen, more oxygen means more intermolecular bond with hydrogen.

Ammonia gas is compressed from 21°C and 200 kPa to 1000 kPa in an adiabatic compressor with an efficiency of 0.82. Estimate the

Evgen [1.6K]

Explanation:

It is known that efficiency is denoted by $\eta$ .

The given data is as follows.

$\eta$ = 0.82, $T_{1}$ = (21 + 273) K = 294 K

$P_{1}$ = 200 kPa, $P_{2}$ = 1000 kPa

Therefore, calculate the final temperature as follows.

$\eta = \frac{T_{2} - T_{1}}{T_{2}}$

0.82 = $\frac{T_{2} - 294 K}{T_{2}}$

$T_{2}$ = 1633 K

Final temperature in degree celsius = $(1633 - 273)^{o}C$

= $1360^{o}C$

Now, we will calculate the entropy as follows.

$\Delta S = nC_{v} ln \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} + nR ln \frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}$

For 1 mole, $\Delta S = C_{v} ln \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} + R ln \frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}$

It is known that for $NH_{3}$ the value of $C_{v}$ = 0.028 kJ/mol.

Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$\Delta S = C_{v} ln \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} + R ln \frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}$

= $0.028 kJ/mol \times ln \frac{1633}{294} + 8.314 \times 10^{-3} kJ \times ln \frac{200}{1000}$

= 0.0346 kJ/mol

or, = 34.6 J/mol (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Therefore, entropy change of ammonia is 34.6 J/mol.

A mutation in the gene coding for a single-polypeptide enzyme results in the substitution of the amino acid serine, which has a

Alik [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is: The substitution altered the secondary and tertiary structure of the enzyme so that the mutated enzyme folds into a different shape than the normal enzyme does.

Explanation:

In the given condition, the substitution mutation of gene causes a replacement of serine by phenylalanine amino acids which causes a reduction in the activity of the enzyme. Since serine is polar and has -OH or hydroxy group involves the information of binding of biological catalyst to the substrate.

The primary structure of a protein is significant which finalizes the number of amino acids their sequence. The mutation of protein also affects both secondary and tertiary structures as it disturbs the structure of the protein and affects the catalytic activity as well as the binding affinity of the substrate.

the substitution of serin by phenylalanine does not affect or influence the mass of enzyme.

Cu + 2AgNO3 es002-1.jpg 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2 How many moles of copper must react to form 0.854 mol Ag?

marin [14]

Balance Chemical Equation is as follow,

<span> Cu + 2 AgNO</span>₃ → 2 Ag + Cu(NO₃)₂

According to Balance Equation,

2 Moles of Ag is produced by reacting = 1 Mole of Cu
So,
0.854 Moles of Ag will be produced by reacting = X Moles of Cu

Solving for X,
X = (0.854 mol × 1 mol) ÷ 2 mol

X = 0.427 Moles of Cu
Result:
0.854 Moles of Ag are produced by reacting 0.427 Moles of Cu.
